A number of people have replied for additional server capacity to start a new #Xfce buildbot setup. Thanks for that! Best option is to pick one for a buildmaster + slave (single vm) where others can hook up to setup / maintain their own buildslave.I probably get to that in a couple of months, unless someone volunteers to set this up (I have to master.cfg from the old server).

Donations is another topic for which we require a foundation, something that's been stalled for some time now... So be patient.

Simon Steinbeiss: FWIW, there is another rather easy and quick to setup way to receive a specific sort of donations, which would be through bug bounty. I've recently written a proposal for this for Xubuntu, but basically all of it also applies to Xfce, so just s/Xubuntu/Xfce/Since people like +Christian Dywan are using this system successfully, I had enough trust in it to spend the time on writing things up :)

Yesterday one of the Xfce server was taken offline. The university of Stockholm did no longer want to support the #Xfce and #Lunarlinux projects, which they supported for many years.

The machine was only used as a download mirror and buildbot system.Although there are not a lot (5) of download mirrors at the moment, the ones we have are good and reliable, however the #buildbot will be a miss eventually.

So if anyone is interested in maintaining this and has the hosting capability for this (our servers used for hosting have no visualization), let me know!

Gaurav Kumar: I am willing to donate. Also I have couple of low end servers lying around.

Kent Kovac: I have half a dozen servers sitting idle right now that can be used.
